Winter Activities in Denver and the Colorado Mountains

Winter is one of the best times to visit Denver and the mountains of Colorado, where a little cold and snow only encourage people to get out and play. A stay at Colorado Bear Creek Cabins perfectly situates you for all that Colorado has to offer in the wintertime, from urban excursions to the charm of small towns near Red Rocks and in the foothills to big-time skiing in world renowned resorts. Colorado Bear Creek Cabins is one of the most conveniently located cabin resorts in Colorado, allowing easy access to the city and the mountains.

Nestled between the foothills communities of Kittredge and Evergreen, Colorado Bear Creek Cabins offer the seclusion and peace you want from a Colorado mountain cabin rental, with plenty of convenience to make your stay easy and truly relaxing, even in the winter time. You can stay cozy in our cabin rentals, equipped with fireplaces and quilts, and when it’s time to get out and explore, everything you could want from a Colorado winter is nearby.

Winter activities in Denver are a 30-minute drive “down the hill.”

With mild winters and days and days of sunshine, Denver is just as bustling in the winter as any other time of year. Colorado Bear Creek Cabins offer easy access to highways and I-70, making Denver a quick trip. Get out and enjoy the city lights and dining at many fantastic restaurants and outdoor shopping areas. And with the city still dressed up from the holidays, ice skating is especially fun downtown, so check out the Downtown Denver Rink or McGregor Skate.

Colorado Bear Creek Cabins are near Red Rocks, Golden, and Evergreen.

If you want to enjoy the breathtaking Colorado mountain winter without having to make a big drive, Colorado Bear Creek Cabins are near Red Rocks and other favorite foothills attractions, like Golden and Evergreen. Enjoy a snowy hike at Red Rocks Amphitheater and stop for lunch in charming Morrison. Spend a day in old Wild West haunts in Golden and tour the Coors Brewery. Or head just up the road to Evergreen for ice fishing and ice skating on Evergreen Lake, one of the largest natural outdoor skating rinks in the country.

Enjoy world-class skiing right in our backyard.

It’s no secret that skiing and snowboarding are the Colorado mountain winter activity of choice, and Colorado Bear Creek Cabins makes it easy to take on the slopes with access to resorts along the I-70 corridor in under an hour. Stop for gear at Boone Mountain Sports in Evergreen, and then buzz right up the interstate to some of the best skiing in the state: A-Basin, Loveland, Breckenridge, Keystone, Vail, and Beaver Creek are all accessible in about two hours or less, with beautiful views of the Rocky Mountains all along the way.

You don’t have to ski to play outside in the Colorado winter.

Colorado has so much to offer in the winter besides some of the world’s best skiing. If you want to be outside in the snowy mountains, Colorado Bear Creek Cabins is still the perfect mountain cabin rental for you. Surrounded by mountain communities and an extensive trail network, there is much to explore. Try your hand at snowshoeing or cross-country skiing for an invigorating turn through our evergreen forests. Get whisked through snow-covered fields in a majestic horse-drawn sleigh or a rugged sport vehicle navigated by a professional driver. Take in the magic of the Colorado Ice Castles at Cripple Creek or catch an outdoor festival in a nearby ski town.

Indoor activities are a great winter option, too.

Winter is beautiful—but it can be cold. If you’d rather stay in, there is still plenty to entertain. Because our cabins are near Denver, you can access live music, fine dining, movie theaters, museums, art, even Meow Wolf in 45 minutes or less with a pretty drive down the mountain.

But you don’t have to head toward Denver to find indoor options. We have wonderful dining in Kittredge and Evergreen, as well as a hearty live music scene. We always keep schedules of local shows and menus from local restaurants available. Just let us know what you’re in the mood for.

Winter is the time that Colorado—literally—sparkles, and we want you to enjoy your wintertime stay at Colorado Bear Creek Cabins. Whatever your hope for a wintertime excursion, let us help you find the perfect time in the Colorado mountains.
